I have made numerous cookies from various recipes and these have to be the best. The only problem was I used Almond essence by mistake, but try it as they are great, chocolate and almond a great match…..

Thankyou so much for this. Ive used this recipe for ages, much to the delight of my friends. I came to look for it in my recipe file today and it’s gone missing. I havent been able to find the original site that I got it from so I really appreciate you reproducing it. I can promise anyone who hasnt tried it that this is the absolute best cookie recipe in the world, my friends BEG me to make them.

Success!

Awesome cookies! Just awesome.

I turned the temp down to 180 (in a fan forced oven), but I think one of the key factors was that I chilled the dough overnight. I had chilled it for two hours before and they still turned out like cow-pats, but after a day of refrigeration the dough was much firmer and they spread more slowly and evenly in the oven. The only other thing that may have helped was that I electric-beat the eggs into the mixture, rather than manually doing it.

Thanks for the tips. Amazing cookies and the first I have ever made successfully!

Hi Jesse, I’d suggest turning your oven down by 5 or 10 degrees. That should help with both the spreading and over-caramelising. Also, are you baking them when well-chilled? That should help, too.

Hi,

I’ve cooked these a few times now and they always taste really good, but I don’t think they’re baking to their full potential.

Though they still have a great flavour and do have a soft chewiness in the centre, they really flatten out just before the time is up and almost get too toffee-caramalised-sugar-like.

Is there anything I can do to improve this?

I have just come back from travelling for 6 months and one of the first things I had to cook on my return were these cookies. They are always amazing but taste even better after a 6 month break!

I tried with two eggs and the mixture was a little too soft, I tend to use a choc bar cut up instead of chips (I like BIG chunks !!) and when I was cutting the dough they kept loosing their shape. Also when they were cooked they seemed a little bland
